Old and New

Things I am missing about Tucson right now:
-Warm weather!!! When I woke up it was 30 degrees outside!!! The high is supposed to be in the 50's today but we'll see about that.
-Being able to throw on flip flops to go somewhere
-Brady being able to play outside when he wants
-Chick-fil-a (there is not one in Omaha that we can get to-only one inside an office building downtown that is not open to the public!)
-Greatland Target right around the corner (our Target is not as big and not as close)
-Home Goods-we have a Hobby Lobby here though so I guess I can trade one for the other
-The mountains-it's not completely flat here with some hills and contour but I am still scanning the horizons expecting to see mountains that are not there
-So many good Mexican places to choose from
-Brady's preschool-I need to find one here still for him
-Brady's friends-he keeps saying that he wants someone to come over and play with us
-Of course I couldn't forget my friends......I am missing you most right now! I've gotten a couple calls and emails and it seriously made my day. Sorry if I haven't responded, we have still been quite busy around here and usually in the morning is when I have the most time and it's too early to call you guys there. I will call I promise!!! Thanks for the thoughts though, I really appreciate it!

Things that I am enjoying about Nebraska right now:
-Buying a new wardrobe and shoes to accommodate the weather here
-Cooking fall recipes with the chilly air outside-somehow they are more satisfying and more delicious because it is cool outside
-We've already had 2 different sets of visitors come visit us because we are only driving distance away from family
-We have SO much room in our new house-in the bedrooms and especially in our finished basement and storage area. I don't feel like I am constantly stacking and unstacking boxes to get to things underneath each other.
-We now have a Super Walmart within a couple minutes. So much better than that nasty Walmart I avoided at all costs in Tucson!
-Grass and trees! We are enjoying the pretty fall colors and big trees right behind our house.

So those are a couple thoughts I am having right now. I am close to being done with stuff around the house. I need to paint a couple rooms still so that will keep me busy between that and taking care of the boys.
We are getting new bedroom furniture that I was promised when we move! I have to wait to put all my clothes away in there but both boy's rooms are pretty organized and clothes put away. I still have all my decorating to do but that's the fun part after I'm done painting the rooms. I also have our small table and chairs for the kitchen to re-finish so I have a lot of projects to get done before we have Thanksgiving at our house.
That's right-I get to host Thanksgiving and I am beyond excited! We have never had a big Thanksgiving with family since we've been married because we've been too far away. Now that we're closer, they are coming to us and we have some space here to accommodate everyone so I am very excited to be able to do it this year!
So that is my motivation for getting the house put together the way I want it. I hope that makes me get it done because I have been exhausted the last 2 weeks and pretty much 2 months before that too!
I'll post some pictures as I get some stuff done.
